So I accidentally stumbled upon a golden oldie VST: Floorfish.



I remember back in the days of Cool Edit Pro/Adobe Audition, recording and mixing my first album making extensive use of these awesome plugins. A friend of mine recommended me Floorfish, which worked miracles on kick and snare.

Anyone remember https://www.digitalfishphones.com/ ? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Yeah, I remember them. They're still available, no? I should install Logic Platinum, these, and rock it like it's 2000!

I used that one compressor a lot (endorphin? looks familiar), and then the normalizer was a must oftentimes because shit CPUs.

 

Yeah, these were (all) golden back in the days. Good times!

 

You maybe aren't using Logic anymore, but a good number of those old plugins are still in there, like PlatinumVerb, etc. You do Option key + click to insert a plugin, and the Legacy menu item appears at the bottom of your list, with them all in there.

 

Isn't Urs himself Uhe, Urs Heckmann?

 

Yeah, I haven't used Logic in a while, but when I did have a working Mac I could access the olden goldies fine (and it still loaded my old projects, so it's all good).

I mean, fire up Logic Audio Platinum 4 and some good old 32-bit thingies like these, Northpole, Tau and what have you from that time period around the millennium.

Time flies when you're not having fun, right?

 

they still work in fl studio , and THD is probably one of the oldest working tape emulation vst that wasnt just a noise effect

 

Yeah cool to read his story, and I just installed Floorfish. You're right, still works on Reaper Win11 x64!
